As I've said before, they probably won't bother with the clients.
However, if they decide to fuck with you, they can and do pull all sorts of shit. The rule of law no longer applies in the good old USA.
Unfortunately, they are successfully using RICO against people who have nothing to do with "mob" activity. All they need is two people and two crimes of certain types to claim RICO. They seize your assets and get to keep them unless you take them to court. It costs thousands of dollars, takes years, and defendants often lose even if they're never charged with a crime.
They have used RICO in many ridiculous cases. For instance, they used RICO on an independent couple running a small business out of their home who bought US legal satellite receivers and shipped them to Canada.
As for Mann act, the mere act of sending an e-mail to an out of state lady and making an appointment for her next trip to your town can get you charged. Even if you yourself didn't solicit, they can claim you're an accessory.
BTW, the Mann act has nothing to do with slavery. "White slavery" was a buzzword used for scare tactics about prostitution and got plastered over all kinds of things that had nothing to do with slavery.
